____________________
Ye mad caps of England who merry would make,
And for your brave valour would pains undertake,
Come over to Flanders and there you shall see,
How merry we'll make it, how frolic we'll be.
If you've been a citizen broke by mischance,
And would by your courage your credit advance,
Here's stuff to be won by venturing your life,
So you leave at home a good friend by your wife.
But if upon wenches you've spent all your means,
And still your mind runs upon whores and queans,
Here's wenches enow that with you will go,
From leaguer to leaguer, in spite of your foe.
Your serjeants and officers are very kind,
If that you can flatter and speak to their mind,
They will free you from duty and all other trouble,
Your money being gone, your duty comes double!
As soon as you've come to your enemies' land,
Where fat goose and capon you have at command,
Sing take them or eat them or let them alone,
Sing go out and fetch them or else you get none.
And when you break an arm, or a leg,
You shall have your pass thro' the country to beg.
Your officer promises you some other pay,
But the soldier ne'er gets it, no, not 'till Doom's Day!
At last when you've come to your enemies' walls,
Where many a brave gallant and gentleman falls,
And when you have done the best that you can,
Your captain rewards you, "There dies a brave man!"

This song was featured in episode 1x04 of the Hulu/ITV show "Harlots". It's originally sung by LucyWells (played by Eloise Smyth) during the masquerade at the brothel. I couldn't find an HD promo picture of her so the video still is her sister Charlotte.
Anyway. I recently bought a ukulele and I liked it with this song so I figured, why not make a ukulele cover. I've noted the ukulele chords (plus a simpler variation that works both on ukulele and guitar) below.
As far as I have been able to find out, the lyrics of the song were taken from a song collection from 1719: Thomas D'Urfey's "Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy" (Vol. IV). However, the melody was changed from the original one. I don't know if this is a variation that already existed before the show or if it was composed by the show's composer (RaelJones); my guess is the latter.
The show version contains only one of the many verses, I added a few of the others. But there are still more. You can find digitized copies of the song collection here: http://imslp.org/wiki/Wit_and_Mirth,_or_Pills_to_Purge_Melancholy_(D%27Urfey,_Thomas). Look for "I, a tender young maid, have been" in Vol. IV, p. 216.

LYRICS:
A Master of Musick came with an intent,
To teach me a lesson on my instrument,
I thank'd him for nothing and bid him be gone,
For my little fiddle should not be plaid on.
My thing is my own, and I'll keep it so still
Though other young lasses may do as they will.
A sweet scented courtier did give me a kiss,
And promis'd me mountains if I would be his,
But I'll not believe him, for it is too true,
Some courtiers do promise much more than they do.
My thing is my own, and I'll keep it so still
Though other young lasses may do as they will.
A fine dapper taylor, with a yard in his hand
Did profer his service to be at command
He talk'd of a slit I had above knee,
But I'll have no taylors to stitch it for me.
My thing is my own, and I'll keep it so still
Though other young lasses may do as they will.
Now here I could reckon a hundred and more
Besides all the Gamesters recited before
That made their addresses in hopes of a snap
But as young as I was I understood a trap.

Life

He has been vegan for several years and supports the animal welfare organization PETA. In 2003, he was criticised for his approval of their exhibition Holocaust on Your Plate, which compared keeping animals in mass stocks to the crimes of the Holocaust.

He sees himself as a member of the Lohas ("Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability") movement and is fond of green ecologial initiatives. On stage he often wears T-Shirts from Fairtrade Label armedangels, all of his Merchandise items are fair traded as well.

Thomas D. is married, has one daughter and one son.

Work

Thomas D. is a member of Die Fantastischen Vier, but was also successful with his solo albums Solo (1997), Lektionen in Demut (2001), and Kennzeichen D (2008). Singles released from these albums include Rückenwind, Frisör, Liebesbrief, and Solo (featuring Nina Hagen). Outside Germany, he is probably best known for "Wish (Komm zu mir)" which he performed with Franka Potente on the soundtrack of the movie Run Lola Run.

Thomas d'Urfey

Thomas D'Urfey (Tom Durfey) (1653 – 26 February 1723) was an English writer and wit. He composed plays, songs, and poetry, in addition to writing jokes. He was an important innovator and contributor in the evolution of the Ballad opera.

D'Urfey was born in Devonshire and began his professional life as a scrivener, but quickly turned to the theatre. In personality, he was considered so affable and amusing that he could make friends with nearly everyone, including such disparate characters as Charles II of England and his brother James II, and in all layers of society.

D'Urfey lived in an age of self-conscious elitism and anti-egalitarianism, a reaction against the "leveling" tendencies of the previous Puritan reign during the Interregnum. D'Urfey participated in the Restoration's dominant atmosphere of social climbing: he claimed to be of French Huguenot descent, though he might not have been; and he added an apostrophe to the plain English name Durfey when he was in his 30s.

Henry Purcell

Henry Purcell (/ˈpɜːrsəl/; c. 10 September 1659 – 21 November 1695) was an English composer. Although incorporating Italian and French stylistic elements into his compositions, Purcell's legacy was a uniquely English form of Baroque music. He is generally considered to be one of the greatest English composers; no other native-born English composer approached his fame until Edward Elgar.

Early life and career

Purcell was born in St Ann's Lane, Old Pye Street Westminster – the area of London later known as Devil's Acre – in 1659. Henry Purcell Senior, whose older brother Thomas Purcell (d. 1682) was also a musician, was a gentleman of the Chapel Royal and sang at the coronation of King Charles II of England. Henry the elder had three sons: Edward, Henry and Daniel. Daniel Purcell (d. 1717), the youngest of the brothers, was also a prolific composer who wrote the music for much of the final act of The Indian Queen after Henry Purcell's death. Henry Purcell's family lived just a few hundred yards west of Westminster Abbey from 1659 onwards.

Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy

Wit and Mirth: Or Pills to Purge Melancholy is the title of a large collection of songs by Thomas d'Urfey, published between 1698 and 1720, which in its final, six-volume edition held over 1,000 songs and poems. The collection started as a single book compiled and published by Henry Playford who had succeeded his father John Playford as the leading music publisher of the period. Over the next two decades, Pills went through various editions and expanded into five volumes; in 1719 Thomas D'Urfey reordered and added to the work to produce a new edition (also in 5 volumes) with the title Songs Compleat, Pleasant and Divertive, published by Jacob Tonson. Volumes I and II now consisted entirely of songs (words, not tunes) by D'Urfey. The edition sold out quickly and in the second printing D'Urfey reverted to the Pills title. He added Volume 6 in 1720.
The title itself may derive from a 1599 pamphlet "A Pil to Purge Melancholie".

Later versions

In 1920 William Giles Whittaker published North Country Folk Song set for unaccompanied voices: Words from D'Urfey's "Pills to Purge Melancholy."

Ye Madcaps Of England

This song is included in Thomas d'Urfey's "Pills to Purge Melancholy", 1720. It speaks to the disillusionment of veteran soldiers.

The dialogue between “Jockey and Jenny” that Purcell composed for D’Urfey’s earlier play, A Fool’s Preferment, is identified in a separately printed collection of songs as “A ScotchSong sung in the 4th Act.” The words, however, do not appear in the printed text of the play—presumably because songs were being added while the play was in rehearsal. Curtis Price, author of a fine book on Purcell’s theatre music, believes this song was performed while two characters are sneaking offstage for an illicit assignation; since the lovers in the song stop short of consummation, the theatre company may have been hedging its bets with an audience less tolerant of bald obscenity than the theatregoers of the 1670s had been.

Benjamin Luxon sings Henry Purcell

Here is the great Cornish baritone, Benjamin Luxon, singing Henry Purcell's "Let the dreadful Engines of eternal Will". It was composed for Thomas d'Urfey's "The Comical History of Don Quixote" in 1694. It shows what a brilliant composer Purcell was and clearly shows another side of the diverse and equally brilliant Benjamin Luxon. One of the very finest singers ever! He sang every kind of music and sang it well.
Let the dreadful engines of eternal will,
The thunder roar and crooked lightning kill,
My rage is hot as theirs, as fatal too,
And dares as horrid execution do.
Or let the frozen North its rancour show,
Within my breast far greater tempests grow;
Despair's more cold than all the winds can blow.
Can nothing, nothing warm me?
Yes, yes, Lucinda's eyes.
There Etna, there,
There, thereVesuvio lies,
To furnish Hell with flames
That mounting reach the skies.
Ye powers, I did but use her name,
And see how all the meteors flame;
Blue lightning flashes round the court of Sol,
And now the globe more fiercely burns
Than once at Phaeton's fall.
Ah, where are now those flow'ry groves
Where Zephyr's fragrand winds did play?
Where guarded by a troop of Loves,
The fair Lucinda sleeping lay:
There sung the nightingale and lark,
Around us all was sweet and gay;
We ne'er grew sad till it grew dark,
Nor nothing feared but short'ning day.
I glow, I glow but 'tis with hate
Why must I burn for this ingrate?
Cool, cool it then and rail,
Since nothing, nothing will prevail.
When a woman love pretends,
'Tis but till she gains her ends,
And for better and for worse
'Tis for marrow of the purse;
When she jilts you o'er and o'er,
Proves a slattern or a whore;
This hour will tease and vex,
And cuckold ye the next.
They were all contrived in spite,
To torment us, not delight;
But to scold and scratch and bite,
And not one of them proves right,
But all are witches by this light,
And so I fairly bid em and the world good night.

From rosy bow'rs where sleeps the god of Love,
Hither, ye little waiting Cupids, fly:
Teach me in soft, melodious songs to move,
With tender passion, my heart's darling joy.
Ah! let the soul of music tune my voice,
To win dear Strephon, who my soul enjoys.
Or if more influencing
Is to be brisk and airy,
With a step and a bound,
And a frisk from the ground,
I will trip like any fairy.
As once on Ida dancing,
Were three celestial bodies,
With an air and a face,
And a shape, and a grace,
Let me charm like Beauty's goddess.
Ah! 'tis all in vain,
Death and despair must end the fatal pain,
Cold despair, disguis'd, like snow and rain,
Falls on my breast!
Bleak winds in tempests blow,
My veins all shiver and my fingers glow,
My pulse beats a dead march for lost repose,
And to a solid lump of ice, my poor fond heart is froze.
Or say, ye Pow'rs, my peace to crown,
Shall I thaw myself or drown?
Amongst the foaming billows,
Increasing all with tears I shed,
On beds of ooze and crystal pillows,
Lay down my lovesick head.
Say, say, ye Pow'rs, my peace to crown,
Shall I thaw myself or drown?
No, I'll straight run mad,
That soon my heart will warm;
When once the sense is fled,
Love has no pow'r to charm.
Wild thro' the woods I'll fly,
Robes, locks shall thus be tore;
A thousand deaths I'll die
Ere thus in vain adore.

As far as I have been able to find out, the lyrics of the song were taken from a song collection from 1719: Thomas D'Urfey's "Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy" (Vol. IV). However, the melody was changed from the original one. I don't know if this is a variation that already existed before the show or if it was composed by the show's composer (RaelJones); my guess is the latter.

LYRICS:
A Master of Musick came with an intent,
To teach me a lesson on my instrument,
I thank'd him for nothing and bid him be gone,
For my little fiddle should not be plaid on.
My thing is my own, and I'll keep it so still
Though other young lasses may do as they will.
A sweet scented courtier did give me a kiss,
And promis'd me mountains if I would be his,
But I'll not believe him, for it is too true,
Some courtiers do promise much more than they do.
My thing is my own, and I'll keep it so still
Though other young lasses may do as they will.
A fine dapper taylor, with a yard in his hand
Did profer his service to be at command
He talk'd of a slit I had above knee,
But I'll have no taylors to stitch it for me.
My thing is my own, and I'll keep it so still
Though other young lasses may do as they will.
Now here I could reckon a hundred and more
Besides all the Gamesters recited before
That made their addresses in hopes of a snap
But as young as I was I understood a trap.

This song was featured in episode 1x04 of the Hulu/ITV show "Harlots". It's originally sung by LucyWells (played by Eloise Smyth) during the masquerade at the brothel. I couldn't find an HD promo picture of her so the video still is her sister Charlotte.
Anyway. I recently bought a ukulele and I liked it with this song so I figured, why not make a ukulele cover. I've noted the ukulele chords (plus a simpler variation that works both on ukulele and guitar) below.
As far as I have been able to find out, the lyrics of the song were taken from a song collection from 1719: Thomas D'Urfey's "Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy" (Vol. IV). However, the melody was changed from the original one. I don't know if this is a variation that already existed before the show or if it was composed by the show's composer (RaelJones); my guess is the latter.

The dialogue between “Jockey and Jenny” that Purcell composed for D’Urfey’s earlier play, A Fool’s Preferment, is identified in a separately printed collection of songs as “A ScotchSong sung in the 4th Act.” The words, however, do not appear in the printed text of the play—presumably because songs were being added while the play was in rehearsal. Curtis Price, author of a fine book on Purcell’s theatre music, believes this song was performed while two characters are sneaking offstage for an illicit assignation; since the lovers in the song stop short of consummation, the theatre company may have been hedging its bets with an audience less tolerant of bald obscenity than the theatregoers of the 1670s had been.

Here is the great Cornish baritone, Benjamin Luxon, singing Henry Purcell's "Let the dreadful Engines of eternal Will". It was composed for Thomas d'Urfey's "The Comical History of Don Quixote" in 1694. It shows what a brilliant composer Purcell was and clearly shows another side of the diverse and equally brilliant Benjamin Luxon. One of the very finest singers ever! He sang every kind of music and sang it well.
Let the dreadful engines of eternal will,
The thunder roar and crooked lightning kill,
My rage is hot as theirs, as fatal too,
And dares as horrid execution do.
Or let the frozen North its rancour show,
Within my breast far greater tempests grow;
Despair's more cold than all the winds can blow.
Can nothing, nothing warm me?
Yes, yes, Lucinda's eyes.
There Etna, there,
There, thereVesuvio lies,
To furnish Hell with flames
That mounting reach the skies.
Ye powers, I did but use her name,
And see how all the meteors flame;
Blue lightning flashes round the court of Sol,
And now the globe more fiercely burns
Than once at Phaeton's fall.
Ah, where are now those flow'ry groves
Where Zephyr's fragrand winds did play?
Where guarded by a troop of Loves,
The fair Lucinda sleeping lay:
There sung the nightingale and lark,
Around us all was sweet and gay;
We ne'er grew sad till it grew dark,
Nor nothing feared but short'ning day.
I glow, I glow but 'tis with hate
Why must I burn for this ingrate?
Cool, cool it then and rail,
Since nothing, nothing will prevail.
When a woman love pretends,
'Tis but till she gains her ends,
And for better and for worse
'Tis for marrow of the purse;
When she jilts you o'er and o'er,
Proves a slattern or a whore;
This hour will tease and vex,
And cuckold ye the next.
They were all contrived in spite,
To torment us, not delight;
But to scold and scratch and bite,
And not one of them proves right,
But all are witches by this light,
And so I fairly bid em and the world good night.

From rosy bow'rs where sleeps the god of Love,
Hither, ye little waiting Cupids, fly:
Teach me in soft, melodious songs to move,
With tender passion, my heart's darling joy.
Ah! let the soul of music tune my voice,
To win dear Strephon, who my soul enjoys.
Or if more influencing
Is to be brisk and airy,
With a step and a bound,
And a frisk from the ground,
I will trip like any fairy.
As once on Ida dancing,
Were three celestial bodies,
With an air and a face,
And a shape, and a grace,
Let me charm like Beauty's goddess.
Ah! 'tis all in vain,
Death and despair must end the fatal pain,
Cold despair, disguis'd, like snow and rain,
Falls on my breast!
Bleak winds in tempests blow,
My veins all shiver and my fingers glow,
My pulse beats a dead march for lost repose,
And to a solid lump of ice, my poor fond heart is froze.
Or say, ye Pow'rs, my peace to crown,
Shall I thaw myself or drown?
Amongst the foaming billows,
Increasing all with tears I shed,
On beds of ooze and crystal pillows,
Lay down my lovesick head.
Say, say, ye Pow'rs, my peace to crown,
Shall I thaw myself or drown?
No, I'll straight run mad,
That soon my heart will warm;
When once the sense is fled,
Love has no pow'r to charm.
Wild thro' the woods I'll fly,
Robes, locks shall thus be tore;
A thousand deaths I'll die
Ere thus in vain adore.

Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man.
Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Roll it up, roll it up;
Put it in a pan;
And toss it in the oven as fast as you can!
Origins
The earliest recorded version of the rhyme appears in Thomas D'Urfey's play The Campaigners from 1698, where a nurse says to her charges:
...and pat a cake Bakers man, so I will master as I can, and prick it, and prick it, and prick it, and prick it, and prick it, and throw't into the Oven.
The next appearance is in Mother Goose's Melody, (c. 1765), in the form:
Patty Cake, Patty Cake,
Baker's Man;
That I will Master,
As fast as I can;
Prick it and prick it,
And mark it with a T,
And there will be enough for Tommy and me
